Badger Proof Fence

Badgers are a problem on this plot. The field has a large badger set in one corner, and several burrows around the edges. On Friday the plot was marked out with string. By Saturday morning the badgers had shredded and distributed the string over the plot.

Before any planting can be done the site needs surrounding with a badger proof fence. The bottom of the fence is to be folded at right angles with six inches of fence buried under ground to deter badgers and rabbits.
